Special War God

Chapter 157 Passing through the Secret Passage

Seeing this, Xu Qian's already irritable mood became even more depressed, and she angrily scolded: "Yan Xiaoying, you evil creature dare to show up? Have you forgotten how you framed Xia Zhongnan?"

Yan Xiaoying did not respond to this, but walked directly to Xia Zhongnan and said earnestly: "What happened in the past was indeed my fault. Considering the friendship of leading you into the Immortal Palace, please take me away with you."

After saying that, Yan Xiaoying bowed deeply to Xia Zhongnan and apologized. Xia Zhongnan sighed. How could he be so cruel to this woman who looked just like his old acquaintance Nightingale?

"Then you swear to me that you will not reveal any secrets here, and I will take you away." Xia Zhongnan said.

Yan Xiaoying quickly replied, "I swear in the name of all the ancestors of Piao Miao Immortal Palace that I will never reveal a single thing about what happened in the Immortal Palace."

Xia Zhongnan nodded slightly. Facing this woman who looked so much like an old friend, he couldn't remain heartless after all.

Xu Qian still wanted to object, but she was in a low mood at the moment and finally had to give up.

After seeing Xia Zhongnan accept Yan Xiaoying, the remaining human cultivators all ran over cheering and joyfully, and took the initiative to swear vows.

How could Xia Zhongnan have any sympathy for these monks? He glanced at the gathering of strange beasts and gently made a killing gesture.

After receiving the order, the strange beasts immediately pounced on the human monks who had just joined them, and the tragic cries of the dying human monks were heard all around.

In just a moment, the dozens of human divine cultivators who had escaped earlier were all slaughtered by the strange beasts, leaving no trace of their bodies.

After this bloody slaughter, Xu Dejing realized Xia Zhongnan's ruthless side. This man really killed people without scruples. At the same time, he also saw Xia Zhongnan's ability to control these groups of strange beasts. He was as comfortable as commanding a human army. He only needed to raise his hand to signal, and the strange beasts would follow his orders.

Yan Xiaoying was also horrified, thinking back to the time when they explored the Immortal Palace together, and even entered the Immortal Palace almost at the same time. Now that the journey to the Immortal Palace was about to come to an end, she had gained very little. On the contrary, Xia Zhongnan's strength was no longer what it used to be. Although he might have been lucky in killing Song Honglian, his combat effectiveness was already far beyond the strength level of the average Return to Void Stage cultivator.

As for other gains, how can there be a lack of them?

However, she spared no effort to search for and step into the mysterious immortal palace, as if all her efforts were to help Xia Zhongnan achieve the great way.

Looking back on the past, she had invited Xia Zhongnan to form a team to explore the Immortal Palace. Her original intention was to find a powerful ally to fight against the Holy Phoenix Sect, but she never expected that the outcome would evolve into this situation.

It is unknown whether the Palace Master waiting outside the Immortal Palace can successfully intercept Xia Zhongnan and take away the God-given opportunity from him.

Originally, she expected that the palace would only send a master in the Huanxu period to guard this place. At that time, she thought that even if Xia Zhongnan was lucky enough to get the opportunity, under the pressure of the master in the Huanxu period, he could only become a stepping stone for the promotion of the Immortal Palace.

However, she learned from the palace's Huanxu stage disciple who had gone deep into the Immortal Mansion that the Palace Master was actually here in person, which made her very happy. The only regret she had was that in addition to their Palace Master who was at the Hedao realm, there were actually six other powerful men at the Hedao realm gathered here.

Even she herself had not expected that this piece of immortal palace ruins would have such a huge appeal to cultivators in the Hedao realm.

While my thoughts were in turmoil, Xia Zhongnan had already led me into the misty sea of ​​fog.

A large team stepped into the sea of ​​fog and immediately felt the corrosive force of the thick fog on their bodies and minds. When they crossed the simple "Ten Directions Blood Evil Formation" outside the stream, the blood evil force had already corroded both sides of the battle; at that time, the warriors of the Chiyang tribe relied on the detoxification pills refined by Lu Mingyuan to barely resist the erosion, and now this team composed of strange beasts and monks, as long as they can stay awake, can mobilize their vitality to resist the erosion. However, facing such an omnipresent corrosive force, both strange beasts and humans have deep fears from the bottom of their hearts.

After trekking through the sea of ​​fog for more than half a day, the group finally found the entrance to the passage. This was the core area of ​​the sea of ​​fog, and the surrounding fog was getting thicker and thicker. If Gu Xiu Zhang had not used his sensitive senses to detect Feng Yunzi's summons, it would have been difficult for them to discover the strange phenomenon here and find the passage to the secret realm.

Bai Ze and Xia Zhongnan had left their marks here, and had led the alien beast team through the passage. Bai Ze was responsible for dispatching and arranging in the sea of ​​fog, while Xia Zhongnan was responsible for responding inside the passage. In a flash, all the alien beasts and human race members entered the passage.

Xia Zhongnan took a huge sword made of black iron from Xu Qian, and gently reached it forward to the left. In an instant, the huge sword was silently shattered.

Seeing this scene, the strange beasts and everyone including Xu Dejing were all shocked. Xia Zhongnan then warned: "The space here is entirely constructed by formations. If you don't know how to get through, you must not act rashly. You must follow the instructions, otherwise you will die on the spot if you are not careful."

Hearing this, the strange beasts all held their breath in fear, not daring to act rashly. Xia Zhongnan then began to call Feng Yunzi in the alien space.

This alien space is already extremely vast, and has begun to take shape as a new world. Only when Xia Zhongnan opens a specific link can Feng Yunzi sense the existence of this world within it.

Now that such a long time has passed, Feng Yunzi is in quite good condition. The effect of the "Restoring God Pill" has been almost completely absorbed by him. Compared with the first time he met Xia Zhongzhongnan, his soul has become much more condensed and solid.

He began to reveal to Xia Zhongnan the path to continue to deepen the immortal path. These newly revealed paths were not easy to follow, and they also required them to take countermeasures, such as breaking the forbidden formation or reversing the formation's operation.

Even if the formation here is damaged, it can repair and regenerate itself after a period of time, so their forward speed is still extremely slow.

Bai Ze always accompanies Xia Zhongnan and serves as his right-hand man. Xia Zhongnan carries out many affairs step by step under the guidance of Feng Yunzi, but he has not yet understood the mystery behind them. In comparison, Bai Ze's cultivation in the art of formation is far better than Xia Zhongnan. He can perceive the subtle changes in many formations. Along the way, Bai Ze's attainments in formations are improving at an astonishing speed.

Xu Dejing, Xiang Tianyu and others were at the front of the army, paying close attention to Xia Zhongnan's actions to break the formation. They did not know that Xia Zhongnan's actions were guided by Feng Yunzi, but thought that he was born with such a deep foundation in formation, and they were more shocked by it. They realized that Xia Zhongnan's methods had surpassed ordinary formation masters, and even the top formation kings in the cultivation continent might not be able to match him.

Xiang Tianyu was very confused. How could a genius like Xia Zhongnan condescend to serve as a soldier in the Chifang Army? Xu Dejing saw Xia Zhongnan's amazing skills in the art of formation and was touched: if Xia Zhongnan was really a formation master, he would be able to compete with the powerful cultivators in the fusion realm. However, he was just a governor in the return to the void realm, how could he be qualified to suppress such a person?

He couldn't help but wonder what kind of far-reaching intentions such a person had in the Chifang Army?

However, Xia Zhongnan had no time to care about these things at the moment, as he was completely immersed in the process of breaking the formation and finding a way out. Feng Yunzi taught him how to break the formation while guiding him in his understanding of the formation. The numerous and complex existing formations provided him with a wealth of reference materials, which rapidly improved his formation skills.

Gradually, they could have chosen an easier path, but in order to better teach Xia Zhongnan to comprehend the formation, Feng Yunzi deliberately selected some paths that could better train Xia Zhongnan's formation skills, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of their way out.

Therefore, this huge team has been traveling in this passage for three months. Compared with Xia Zhongnan, the first group of people to enter the Immortal Palace, this passage actually took them more time. Xu Dejing, Lang Zhengfeng and others only stayed in the Immortal Palace for a few days before following Xia Zhongnan in fear.

In the outside world, a month after the five great rulers established the rules for entering the Immortal Palace, there were only a few cultivators who entered the Immortal Palace. After this period of time, most of the cultivators who wanted to enter had already arrived, and those who had not arrived would probably not set foot in it again. After the news that Yuanshi was required to enter the Immortal Palace spread, many people gave up the desire to explore.

The five great kings gathered together, and Yi Guangshan said, "Nearly one thousand Return to Void Realm cultivators and four thousand Transformation Realm cultivators have entered, but no news has been received so far. I don't know what the situation is like in the Immortal Palace."

Zhongsun Chunye responded: "This should have been anticipated. It is easy to enter but difficult to leave. I am afraid that less than one in ten monks will be able to come out alive."

Great Khan Qili laughed out loud and said, "The Lord of Wulonghai State has thought it through. The entrance fee is more than 200,000 spiritual crystals. Each tribe can get nearly 4,000. If we can build a few more immortal palaces, the entrance fee alone will be enough to rival the annual spiritual stone income of our country."

Wu Longhai responded with a smile: "Khan Qili has a unique vision. Those cultivators who have entered the Immortal Palace have actually sacrificed a layer of cultivation on the surface. If they cannot obtain any opportunities or secret treasures in the palace, I am afraid their situation will be worrying."

Huangfu Talang said with a smile: "Since the cultivator failed to gain anything from the Immortal Mansion, he probably couldn't come out alive. Leaving the cultivation resources on him to us can be regarded as making the best use of them. Moreover, by setting up this entrance test, many fearful people will be deterred. Perhaps we have saved their lives unintentionally. The world is unpredictable, who can predict the future!"

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Huangfu Talang's casual words actually pointed out the truth. If there were still cultivators who were reckless enough to break into the Immortal Palace, they would probably be courting death. It was precisely because of their actions that many cultivators who were reluctant to spend their spirit crystals were able to escape.
